about Kent Corey

**About Corey Ground & Air Ops" Kent Corey** Founder – | Drone Pilot • Field Photographer • 4WD Imaging Specialist* Corey Ground & Air Ops wasn’t built in a studio — it was built in the field. From construction sites and back roads to coastal zones and hurricane-damaged terrain, this business was forged where access is tough and conditions are real. I’m Kent Corey, an FAA Part 107 drone pilot, professional field photographer, and off-road imaging specialist with deep roots in real estate, construction, and environmental operations. This is a hands-on operation: boots in sand, drones in the sky, visuals delivered under pressure. I specialize in high-performance field photography and aerial imaging that supports real decision-making. From construction monitoring and real estate photography to aerial surveys and coastal erosion documentation, I deliver visuals that are both cinematic and tactical. I work with builders, developers, real estate professionals, off-road brands, tourism leaders, and conservation crews who need imaging that works as hard as they do. Everything I shoot comes out of my fully equipped 4WD Jeep — a mobile command rig outfitted with Canon RF-series gear, DJI drones, satellite internet, portable lighting, and recovery equipment. This isn’t a show vehicle. It’s my office, my platform, and my tool for reaching jobsites that most people can’t access. Beaches, swamps, rural lots, trails, rooftops — wherever the shoot needs to happen, I get there and get it done. I hold an FAA Part 107 license, a Florida real estate license, and bring over a decade of experience in visual marketing. My work supports pre-construction documentation, mid-project updates, brand campaigns, and end-of-project media with accuracy and grit. I don’t rely on social media trends — I rely on trust, capability, and execution in the field. From mission planning to final edit, I operate with clarity, speed, and zero guesswork. When I’m not on assignment, I document the in-between moments — quiet scenes from the road, wildlife encounters, sunrise silhouettes. These pieces make up my personal art line, The Waking Hour Gallery, and are sold online or at select events. They aren’t the focus of the business, but they’re a reflection of the lifestyle I live — and the places this work takes me. Corey Ground & Air Ops exists to support the people in motion: builders, off-roaders, real estate pros, nonprofits, drone clients, and coastal crews. I’m not just a photographer. I’m a visual operator with gear that doesn’t quit. If you need branded content, tactical imaging, or reliable field support — I’m ready to run ops when you are.
